Eastern Development Initiatives Association

Eastern Development Initiatives Association, specifically its Eastern Development Initiative Division, is a foreign government entity registered to receive awards from the U.S. federal government. The organization primarily focuses on providing services related to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and community support in developing nations, particularly in Africa. Eastern Development Initiatives Association has demonstrated expertise in implementing community-led monitoring programs, working to reduce morbidity and mortality rates among people living with HIV and other affected groups, and fostering social cohesion in urban settings. Their work involves collaboration with various stakeholders, including community-based organizations, civil society groups, and networks of key populations affected by HIV.

Based on the available information, Eastern Development Initiatives Association has not received any prime federal contract awards. However, the organization has been awarded a federal contract sub-award through Pact, Inc. as the prime contractor. This sub-award, with the ID 72066323C00005|251019285|UH2QQN5XKHH9, focuses on bolstering inclusive and transparent opportunities for consensus building and social cohesion in Dire Dawa City. This project highlights Eastern Development Initiatives Association's capabilities in community development and social cohesion initiatives, particularly in urban settings in developing countries. The nature of this sub-award suggests that the organization possesses expertise in facilitating dialogue, promoting inclusivity, and strengthening community ties in potentially challenging urban environments.

Eastern Development Initiatives Association has received two prime federal grant awards from the Bureau of African Affairs, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of State. The most recent grant, awarded on October 1, 2022 (ID: SET10022GR0045), aims to implement community-led monitoring to develop a routine and systematic approach for gathering input from recipients of HIV services. This project involves collaboration with community-based organizations, civil society groups, networks of key populations, people living with HIV, and other community groups affected by HIV. The earlier grant, awarded on April 1, 2021 (ID: SET10021GR3013), focused on reducing morbidity and mortality rates among people living with HIV and other affected groups due to ineffective HIV services. Both grants demonstrate Eastern Development Initiatives Association's commitment to improving HIV/AIDS-related services and outcomes in African communities through community engagement and systematic monitoring approaches. These projects highlight the organization's expertise in developing and implementing strategies to enhance the effectiveness of HIV services, as well as their ability to work closely with diverse community stakeholders to achieve positive health outcomes.
